has anyone tried spawning power + minions on necro?

Yes. I'm playing around with an MM and a spawning +5 staff. Animate Shambling Horror and Animate Bone Horror. The healthy minions also get Ancestors Rage and Splinter Weapon from another hero. Blood Bond and Dwayna's Sorrow in the team build makes for beefy minions that survive long enough to keep up a near permanent meat shield that does some respectable damage. I'm still experimenting.

I also added a +5 Ranger Expertise mod to my spirit spammer staff which improves energy management with spirits and eliminates the need for Spirit Siphon, opening up a slot for other options.

Also the +5 Soul Reaping mod makes Monk healers much more relevant than in the past. You don't need Power Drain or Leech Signet which opens up slots for a lot of options.

Even with all the new mods I'm still finding Blood is Power needs to be somewhere. I've been messing around with a BIP Monk at 8 Blood Magic, which is only one pip less than the old meta Necro. You can experiment with the rest of the bar either prot or healing. There's a ton of options.

There's a lot of testing to do and the possibilities are nearly endless. This is what I like most about this game. It's mind expanding.

Thanks everyone, I'll let Goren and Koss fight over it. Mods please close.

Rhea's Crater chest drop.

Thanks

If anyone can help me out it would be awesome. I'm not having any luck camping in Kama. I have better things to do with my time.

I need at least seven stacks.

I played GW2 from the open beta thingy up to just after HoT release for a total of about 1500 hours before I stopped denying the truth. GW2 is just a different game. I got to the point where I was just grinding the Silverwastes map meta and the chest runs afterward and I logged in one day and just stared at the screen. I never went back.

Guild Wars 1 has a very unique enchanting vibe that's really difficult to put into words. It just works. For the most part the skill and attribute system and combat skill set are pretty flawless and smooth but the learning curve is endless. I love the build crafting in this game. It literally never ends. The storylines are engaging and unpredictable for new players. Each tiny bit of forward progress leaves you thirsting for more.

Guild Wars 2 was fun at the beginning because it was shiny and new, although I noticed there were a lot of distractions and it just didn't feel intuitive at all. The storylines felt forced. I think Anet made a mistake trying to fit the story to their preconceived notions of the future Tyrian universe. It just doesn't work very well. My pet peeve with the skill and combat system is the way over the top skill animations and the resulting clusterfuch when many players are involved. it's just totally too much.

I came back to GW1 and I'm very content with what it has to offer, despite it's age. I just wish Anet would budget some love for it.

Have this bow on my Ranger that I never play. Never bothered to customize it.
